  1. ?'s about NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to Mom2Cassidy's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Super unfair. How do you know so many people? From classes? I don't personally know one single person who applied, and I asked EVERYONE. Not that it matters, I just wanted a friend in the program...

  2. ?'s about NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to Mom2Cassidy's topic in Virginia Nursing

    OMG I am SO glad that you posted this. Now I know I should be hearing something soon. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Only problem is that my mail is forwarded so I might not hear anything...

  3. ?'s about NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to Mom2Cassidy's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks rulab. I guess I am just really stressed out because we moved a week and a half ago and I feel like I haven't studied enough. What a joke, I am embarrassed to even be worried. I will never move...

  4. teas test at NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What conversions need to be memorized for the entrance math exam? lbs to grams, Celsius to Fahrenheit, inches to cm, etc? ml to tsp...? Any info would be greatly

  5. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    Cilantrophobe replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    Your instructor sounds like a total ding-dong. I too would have a hard time ignoring that kind of garbage. Keep your eyes on the

  6. Taking My Own Advice

    Cilantrophobe replied to VaStudentNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck with the move and the yard sale! We move tomorrow and I a SO excited. Except for the fact that our closing costs were $7,000 when they were estimated to be about $5,000 Oh well. I am trying...

  7. essential books for nursing students

    Cilantrophobe replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in General Students

    Sure you can buy them at the store, but why would you want to. They are about double the price in the store vs online (used). However, it is nice to be able to flip through them before you buy them,...

  8. Is anyone else addicted to nursing student vlogs on youtube??

    Cilantrophobe replied to greeniebean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are very welcome. I seem to have several certain favorite things that I want to share with the

  9. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    Cilantrophobe replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    Exactly, she is teaching distortion as a fact and she shouldn't be. But as we can see it is very common and probably not worth a challenge at this time (for the OP). I hope I didn't come across as...

  10. essential books for nursing students

    Cilantrophobe replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in General Students

    I am waiting until I receive my acceptance letter but I also like the Prentice Hall NCLEX-RN reviews and rationales, and have heard good things many times now about the Fluid and Electrolytes MIE...

  11. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    Cilantrophobe replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    Good for you! Just remember that people who manipulate facts to prove their points know they are wrong deep down inside, whether or not they are willing to admit to or correct it. She is probably a...

  12. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    Cilantrophobe replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    It seems to me that you probably gave your child milk-based formula at one time or another and feel that her opinionated teaching style is offensive to your abilities as a parent. If that is the case,...

  13. eczema and latex allergy

    Cilantrophobe replied to gorgor's topic in General Students

    Sorry this doesn't answer your question but I have a question to add. What is done when the patient has a latex allergy? I would think a RN at risk for a latex allergy would follow the same guidelines...

  14. WOULD YOU ???

    Cilantrophobe replied to 2bNurse22*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't have kids in addition to not working I would say that it is doable. PSY, SOC, and ENG are all relatively easy in my opinion. They usually just seem to require a lot of reading and/or...

  15. How did you react to your acceptance/denial letter?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Nightingale11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it is overreacting at all but wouldn't you want your parents to check the mail and be able to call you if you weren't home when the letter came? I mean you have no idea when it might...

  16. teas test at NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Flames has made two really good points. The reason why I took the entrance exam back in August was because somewhere it said to take the test as soon as possible. And I am forever thankful for that...

  17. teas test at NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Since you have already taken all of the pre-reqs and co-reqs for NVCC, why don't you just wait until the next application cycle? That way you will have plenty of time to study and prepare to take the...

  18. Waiting on acceptance letter

    Cilantrophobe replied to Nightingale11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I expect mine around June 12th. I found out today that they got my application and orientation is June 23rd, IF I get in. Good luck to

  19. Voice Recorders

    Cilantrophobe replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Voice Recorders

    Cilantrophobe replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to add another good thing to use your voice recorder for. Today I did a homework assignment for my online pharmacology class. Since I knew I would only be able to log into it one time, I...

  21. Anybody know any good Human Anatomy books?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know of a really great book but it is actually a workbook. It is this:...

  22. need pharmacology book

    Cilantrophobe replied to jinjinweiwei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, I think you have the name of the book confused. I searched Google with the name you provided and it matched nothing. Then I searched "Karch Pharmacology" and found Focus on Nursing...

  23. new student, not what it seems.

    Cilantrophobe replied to ddr436's topic in General Students

    Last time I checked, above average grades only come to those who go the extra mile... To the OP: thank you for posting this. Because it is nice to hear that nursing school isn't always the hardest...

  24. Voice Recorders

    Cilantrophobe replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the Sony ICDP620 Digital Voice Recorder, and I think it is just fine. I wanted one that I could plug into my computer and save my lectures and this tape recorder does just that. You can even...

  25. horrendously long post... read if you dare (and if you have time?)

    Cilantrophobe replied to jaysmom's topic in General Students

    Am I the only person here who thinks that in general, men are total babies and have their 'moments', just like us women? Nobody is perfect and men can be trained with time to help with the cooking,...
